If you are camping with your children, don't forget to bring laptop, tablet and sometimes even your phone loaded with videos

This is something that I learned by trial and error. My mother was always there to remind me to be prepared for any situation. I shared my excitement of going on the first camping trip of my life with my kids and grandkids. And here she was exhaling and puffing up with instructions and advice on every situation. I do not mind my mom's speaking. But watching her lecture makes things uncomfortable. Therefore, I attempted to conclude the entire thing more quickly than I was supposed to. This was a huge mistake, as I've figured out the next day... or two..

We set out with our car to drive it all the way to the campsite. I was hoping to recreate the rural experience I shared with my father back in the past, so I decided to go to one of the most remote spots. It turned out that the location was not in a location with internet service. Our smartphones were not working which meant we were with no other campers. I'm not judging you as I had hoped to have a fantastic vacation off of work.. We spent three days out in the natural surroundings, in the midst of the natural world.. Within just 24 hours, we drove back home.

What happened next? There were no bars or Internet access or even nothing. I had brought my laptop and a couple of games online. However, it was difficult to remove it from the bag. I had a beautiful backdrop ready for the trees to see my projector, that I took along to make big-screen effects movies. The only issue was that there wasn't Internet access to Hulu, Netflix, or Disney+. Their sole purpose was to go through their messages, emails and keep track of their things at school and so on. It was just too much for me and I packed up to go. My kids sound like little piglets enjoying delicious food once we were out of the internet-free zone. I really cherish my children. But that was simply embarrassing. They squealed and groaned when their phones started beeping and announcing incoming text messages and emails.

Since then I've learned to plan better and strive not to be in an internet-free zone, with only a few roaming available. After an extremely long boat ride to our destination, I discovered myself in need of my two best buddies with two tablets and a laptop. They had Hulu streaming video at one end, Netflix movies, and shows on the other. The laptop contains music videos, as well with some films that I have downloaded to view later using Hulu and Netflix apps from the Windows app store. I have over 600 hours of material to watch and complete episodes of South Park, Friends, Will & Grace and Friends seasons.


For kids I have a number of videos that are humorous things. I downloaded a few music videos from Youtube, converted some to MP3 and MP4 formats to watch or listen. A few of the videos I downloaded help this web app, it allows me to get the video directly onto my laptop. Then I can stream it at any time without Internet, just give me an electric source if it is required to recharge. I DVR a lot of TV shows or movies and even seminars on the internet. The video files are stored in the format MP4 to my computer. Then, I open them up later using VLC or KMP.

Another thing I am adamant about is 4k. look here Have you seen? It's amazing! I highly recommend this TV. There's a great program available on new TVs that can support 4K image. It processes the picture and enhances it. It also upscales it, and then upscales it. The TV converts old video into something so much more. Highly recommending to all the boys and girls!
